How can I #if test the user's current skin name in a template?  I have a template that I would like to include different images based on the user's skin.

Use CSS instead. Seriously.

How is that best done?  Does someone with appropriate rights have to add to one of the global CSS files or is there a way to embed the CSS in a template/page?

Well, normally you could use the style attribute to add in-line styling.

But since you want per-skin differentiation, what you should do is: * add a class to the element you want to style * add basic, not skin-dependent styles for the specified class to MediaWiki:Common.css * add per-skin styles for the specified class to MediaWiki:Monobook.css, for example -- generally MediaWiki:<skinname>.css should work, but might not with very old/custom skins

If the usual way doesn't work for your skin, you can always try to override based on, say, the presence of a specific parent element.

Good luck. :)
